How to Take Multiple Pictures to Create a Panoramic Photo
Taking multiple pictures to create a panoramic photo needs a good digital camera that can handle this function. Basically panoramic photography is a technique in which photographers use specialised equipment or some kind of camera related software to capture multiple photos in a few seconds. These photos are then combined or stitched together to create an extremely wide photo that can be moved horizontally. Some people also call it wide format photography. You need to understand that the term panoramic photo usually involves using other computer programs including Adobe Photoshop, CS4, CS5 and Photoshop elements.

Starting with photo series
Creating panoramic image, you need to start with a photo series. You should use three to six images and at the same time you need to understand each picture must overlap with its neighbouring photo. -

Using tripod
Using tripod is also a good idea while taking multiple pictures to create a panoramic photo. It will give a good look while using a tripod. You also need to be careful that each picture should be taken from a specific distance. The position and the level should also be subtle. After taking the photo, you need to nudge the camera slightly left and repeat the process. -

Consistent zoom level
